Description

This is the final report of the excavations carried out by Moshe Dothan in 1959 at Tel Mor, a small tell in the coastal plain. Finds from the Middle Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period were uncovered, and some Roman-period and later finds as well. The principal remains date to the Late Bronze Age and early Iron Age, represented by a series of large buildings on the summit of the tell. Two of these buildings appear to be forts, and as they were accompanied by significant quantities of Egyptianized pottery, they may have functioned as Egyptian garrisons in Canaan. The rich finds include Canaanite, Philistine Egyptian and Egyptianized, Cypriot and Mycenean pottery, as well as flint, metal and groundstone assemblages and glyptics.
